Hi

This case happens when checked for update existing products and there is some other type of post with same ID exists in the database with different post_type like Order , Article …etc. Everything in WordPress is treated as post.

Please mail to support@xadapter.com if you have anymore queries.

I am also getting this error.

Hi Rahul,

This case happens when you checked for update existing products and there is some other type of post with same ID exists in the database.
If you are mapping ID column and checking Merge product if exist, make sure the ID exists in importing site is a Product.

I think this plugin is not working.
I just exported old product, changed SKU and deleted product ID to import that product as a new and plugin just stuck for a while…

Hello,

Thank you for reaching us.
Please mention what error you received while importing. We will help you in fixing it.
“Post is not a product” means your auto-generated ID will be existing in your site for any other posts. try with sku and it will work.
Please raise a request HERE and that will be helpful to follow up with the status.

I’m having the same problem. Please help! I exported with your import / export csv plugin. Then got to the CSV and they are saying “Post is not a product”. This is frustrating. I tried turning off ID in the mapping but then I got other errors.

We’re using the premium version. If I remove the ID column I get a No product parent error.

Hi,
I think the problem is that you can’t specify the “post-type” as “product” during import.

I don’t understand “If you are mapping ID column and checking Merge product if exist, make sure the ID exists in importing site is a Product” answer above.

Using the built in WordPress import export to the POST_TYPE.

Hello Rob,

Wordpress treat everything as post only.
If you are exporting products to the same site you will not get this issue.
Even though if you can specify post_type as product while importing, If the ID exists in the site with any other type, It will not import.
Because IDs are Unique and it is continuous with all post_types.

Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any queries.
Please raise a request HERE for any help.

Hi John,

If you remove ID, Your variations products will not have any references to link parent and child products.
that case you should use sku and parent_sku for the same.

Hope this helps. Please get back to us by raising a request HERE if you have any queries.

I’ve spent over 3 days and nights trying to work. I’ve bought the premium version and it only worked a first time then after that, regardless of what I try all I get is either

X Failed to Import Product or
! Post is not a product

This plugin is terrible, it’s not only cranky at its best but the amount of feedback given for errors is so limited that has made me waste so much time thinking that it was an encoding issue which saw me to no success.

To discard this I have exported and reimported the same file and still fails with either of the above.

This product is certainly not ready for production and even worse charging a premium for a kit that is still full of bugs.

I will be asking for a refund.

Hello Miguel,

Not to worry, We will fix your all issues.
“Failed to import” error will be having a clue for what is the reason of the failure
Please check your error log

“Post is not a product” this error comes when you are trying to import products with same IDs which are already there in your woocommerce site.
It may be in any other format not necessarily a product. But it may be a post.
